Holly Elementary students help break Guinness World Record

Seventy-two Holly Elementary School students helped set a new Guinness World Record for the “World’s Largest Sport Stacking Event.” Hundreds of thousands of stackers from 37,000 schools from around the world up stacked and down stacked 12 specially designed cups in prescribed patterns at lightning speed for at least 30 minutes on Thursday. One of the stackers was Natasha Wortham of Holly Elementary.

Stackers came from across the United States and around the world in countries such as Hungary, Germany, Israel, South Korea, New Zealand, Columbia, and Taiwan. In addition, many schools used this event to benefit local communities by stacking up for a good cause.

According to Bob Fox, World Sport Stacking Association Founder & CEO, the Guinness event is a wonderful way to bring together sport stackers across the globe.

“Sport stacking is an activity enjoyed by all ages and cultures. It promotes hand-eye coordination, fitness, teamwork, speed and lots of fun. This is the eighth year we’ve teamed up with Guinness World Records,” he said.
